Programs We Sponsor
Salvation Army After School Program
The Salvation Army offers shelter, transitional and permanent housing, child daycare, food and seasonal assistance, spiritual character building programs for children and adults and worship services for area residents. Bryn Mawr’s Community Partnership In Action (CPIA) first became involved with the Salvation Army in Norristown, PA in the spring of 2007. CPIA organizes a group of student volunteers who assist in the after-school program. Our volunteers participate once a week, travelling to Norristown and supporting the Salvation Army staff with the teen and youth programs.
If you are interested in being a volunteer at the Salvation Army of Norristown, contact CPIA’s Student Coordinators: Samar Aryani-Sabet (saryanisab@brynmawr.edu) or Charlene Desanges (cdesanges@brynmawr.edu).
"We wondered, '...What types of students are willing to be agents of social action?' ...Then we had an epiphany."
